The Observer Corps (OC) is composed of League members who observe and report on local governmental happenings.
Observer reports support League foci leaders involved in advocacy and/or community engagement, education and empowerment. To be effective, the League must understand how local government works and be informed of issues they face. OC observes boards, and at times committees and commissions, of the Village of Wilmette, Wilmette Park District, D39, D203, Wilmette Library District and New Trier Township. Co-Chairs: Pamela Lurie and Mary Lawlor |
